Back to Maid of Bath (The)

MAID OF BATH, THE. English, Jig. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was originally published in Charles and Samuel Thompson's Compleat Collection, vol. 3 (London, 1773), followed by an appearance in Longman, Lukey & Broderip's Bride's Favourite Collection of 200 Select Country Dances (London, 1775). As with numerous other tunes from the Thompsons' 1773 collection, "Maid of Bath" was entered into the 1788 music manuscript copybook of fiddlers John and William Pitt Turner (Norwich, Conn.).

The Maid of Bath was a three-act comedy by dramatist Samuel Foote, which premiered at the Haymarket in 1771.
